Since some of you just can't resist the temptation of declaring your dislike of MIR's in posted topics even though it's against the rules of this forum. (It's thread crapping as far as I'm concerned) I shall start and sticky this thread so you can continue any discussion on MIR's in here.

This is also where any comments will be deposited if they appear in any thread, so if your rant about MIR's goes MIA in the original thread, you can bet it's in here.

This can actually turn out to be a good thing if anyone has had bad problems with MIR's from certain vendors. In the posted thread just post a link to your comment in this topic and others will see what you have to say in here.

So please try and keep any comments about MIR's in this thread only.

For those that fought for it, freedom has a taste that the protected will never know.-Unknown Veteran

I had to mail mine too.

When I got my mx1000 during the rebate time, they sent me one from the local staples store. BUT it had SKU different from the one used in the online store. I couldn't get a rebate through the online thing.

I ordered my wrt54g at the same time, and that had a rebate that worked find online. Got that cheque within a few weeks. Pretty much given up hope on the mailed one at this point.

The lesson: check your cart very carefully before you hit the final go ahead for purchase. It doesn't matter what the name it, only the SKU.

Wont do the ComUSA or TigerDirect programs any more..they do suck.

Don't feel bad, I'm still waiting on a $30 rebate from Soyo that I sent in 9/04.

I don't recall any posturing. I pointed out that I couldn't get my rebate to work in Staples's electronic system. I complained about that to give you some guff and asked for another to verify that I wasn't the only one with the problem.

Then I saw this thread and mentioned I still wasn't in the system. So maybe that constitutes whining in your mind... but you're the one who posted the original Hot Deal, so I know you wanted to see exactly what my experience was.
